Questions from Furzey Lodge
Can you roast near the sea around Furzey Lodge?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Furzey Lodge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you cover Furzey Lodge?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Sunset in Furzey Lodge is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.

What affects the price in Furzey Lodge
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A spot well away from the house
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
